_‘ One of the strikingflguresin than“
sian palace at Gatschina' is Peter, the
great Danish hound, that stretcheshis
powerful form in the hall leading to the
private apartments of the czar. This
great dog is said to be the largest of his
, species in the world, and was presented
4 to the? czarina some few years ago by
her father, the King of Denmark. ~It is
said that the czar took a liking to the
animal from the start and never goes
any long distance without his company.
Having but little confidence in those
about him, he seems to centre his faith
in'the. dogas a guardian of unfailing
fidelity». and the dog apparently
recrproeates the 2 attachment. It
was reported last summer, when Niki!
list rumors—were rife and documents of
a threatening nature found their way to
the very table of the czar’s private cab-
. inet, that the autocrat of all the Russias
' permitted the hound to sleep in the hall
adjoining his bedroom. For some un-
explained reason the dog became very
suspicious of one of thelguardsmen, and
growled continuously when this man
was put on duty as sentinel in the pal-
ace. Nothing could be shown and noth—
ing was suspected against the man, but
to satisfy the dog he was withdrawn
from sentry duty.—Chicago Herald.

The girls are not allowed to see their
husbands until they are married to them.
The girl must seem to be entirely igno-
rant of the meaning of her betrothal,
' she must cry when the ring is put on her
fipger, but must not admit that she un-
derstands what it means until the con-
tract is settled, when for the first time
she is allowed to recognize the fate that
has been prepared for her, and then it is
her duty to fall backin a dead faint.
Even after that she must not ask any
questions about the name, family or
character of her betrothed, nor must she
ever try to see him from afar. Notwith-
standing this arrangement, which seems
to have been malevolently contrived to
make marriage a failure, Adalet does
not think that Turkish marriages turn out
so badly on the whole.
, “ I have seen girls brought up injevery
kind of indulgence, and who have never
been thwarted in their whole lives, bow
down before their husbands and obey
without a murmur the orders of a man
who a few months before was entirely
unknown to them, and I cannot help
_/.- admiring a system which, while asking
for so much devotion and sacrifice on one
side, so rarely degenerates into tyranny
on the other.”—-Nineteenth Century.
He Was Taught to Ens It.
“ Speaking about corn and cholera,"
said W. H. Carr, formerly chief clerk at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, “ I remember
an amusing incident that came under
my observation. A titled foreigner, who
evidently had never studied agriculture,
was a guest of the house. One day I
happened to sit at the same table . with
him. The waiter served a lot of side
dishes, including com. The titled guest
inspected an ear and then laid it back on
the plate. Taking his knife and fork he
began to dissect it, cutting it into slices
and strips. He jabbed his fork into the
center of the cob and left it there. The
ether guests at the table tried to conceal
their emotions with napkins. A gentle
man sitting near me ordered some extra
ears'to show the foreigner how to get
away with the corn. There was a pro-
found silence all around the table, espe-
cially near the would-be corn eater. The
following day the titled visitor ordered
a double portion of this succulent veg
table.”——N. Y. World. p , v

sble and easily won. An Arab sees a
" girl bearing, water or brushwood andin - -
a moment, almost at a glance, is madly-
in love as if he had passed years of
courtship. He thinks . of nothing else,
. caresand dreams of nothing else but the
girl he loves; and not infrequently, if he
action, he pines
and dies. In order cowence his
suit he sends for a member of the girl’s
tribe who has access to the harem, and
first ensuring his secrecy by a solemn
oath, confesses his love and entreats his
confidant to arrange an interview.
The confidant goes to the 'girl. gives
her a flower or a blade of grass, and
‘says: v -
“ Swear by him who made this flower
and us also, that you will not reveal to
anyone that which I am about to unfold
to you.” . ,
If the girl will not accept the preposal
she will not take the oath; but, never-
theless, keeps the matter perfectly secret
from all. If she is favorably disposed to
the match she answers: ‘
“ I swear by him who made the
flower you hold and us,” and the place
and time of meeting are settled. These
paths are never broken, and it is not long
before the ardent lover becomes the
happy husband—The Million.
A New Variety of Calls.
Many new plants have been brought
“to light in the recent explorations by
Englishmen, Frenchmen and Germans in
equatorial Africa, but one in particular
has a special claim to the attention of
West Indians.
In the Upper Niger region, where great
heat and moisture combine to produce
luxuriance of tropical vegetation, a giant
variety of sugar cane has been found,
which is described as possessing great
saccharine richness and being reproduced
from seed, which in this variety is well
developed. ,
This is indeed news to the sugar plant-
er, and from a botanical point of view
confirms the theory that our present cul-
tivated varieties are descended from an
original perfectly flowering and seeding
plant, the perpetuation of which by cut-
tings impaired, in course of time, the
original attributes of the parent variety.
The Agricultural Board and local plant-
ers should take particular note of this re-
ported discovery, and so also should the
Government botanist. Such a variety
of cane introduced in the island would
be worth millions of Tusser silk worms,
and prove infinitely more advantageous
for its prosperity. And it is to be hoped
we shall soon hear something more of
the Niger cane—Port of SpaimGazette.
The Word " Like.”
Dr. Fitzedward Hall, the English
philologist, has added to his other sound
articles on the correct usage of the
mother tongue a brief essay on the use
of "like ” as a conjunction. This odd
usage of the word is most frequent
among Southerners and much reproach
has been cast on them therefor, but Dr.
Hall, whose wide and accurate knowl-
edge of the English language Mr. Rich-
ard Grant White was once made to, re-
spect, traces it back to eminently re.
spectable sources in the classic wells of
English undefiled, etc.
The array of precedents Dr. Hall estab-
lishes is interesting, but. whether they
are to be Iaccepted as conclusive is an-
other matter, as precedents can be found
for everything, even for the assassination
of a president. The language we speak
today is not Chaucer’s or Wiclif’s, and

Every time the queen leaves one of
her residences, even for an afternoon
drive, the event is notified some hours
beforehand to thepolice by the equerry
on duty, who announces what itinerary
her majesty will probably take. At cer-
tain points all along the route policemen
have to be stationed, and detectives are
placed at all the spots where the royal
carriages are likely to stop. About Bal-
moral and Osborne the roads can be
watched without difficulty, but not so
around Windsor and Buckingham Pal-
ace. It will be seen from this that the
ofiice of dourt detective is by no means
a sinecure. . . - . ‘

Norwalk, founded in 1649. and lo
cated, in the southwestern part of
FairfieldCounty, on Long Island
Sound, forty-two miles from New
York city, and extending f... five
miles along [the valley of the Nor-
walk river, whichhas a commodious
harbor, and will admit vessels of
twelve feet draft, for a distance of
two miles, besides being in one of
the most fertilevalleys of the state,
is surrounded by most {majestic hills
on all sides, and presents a most be-
witching location for a home or a
manufacturing establishment. . .-
It already has what in-other places--

I The railroad and water facilities
are unsurpassed, having the New

Railroad, which furnishes heurly
transit to and from New York city,
and the Housatonic Railroad, under
the management of the N. r. IN. H.
&. H. B. R.. with its western and
northwestern connections. Besides
a passenger steamer running daily
to and from New York cityduring
the summer, and a daily freight
boat service the entire year. Thus
affording easy communications with
all parts of the country, and making
Norwalk especially adapted for man-
ufacturing purposes of all kinds.
When considering the importance
of cheap transportation, the odds
favor the lOcation of the manufac-
I tutor in this city.
I There are many other things in
Norwalk and its surroundings which
render itmost suitable for manu-
facturing ; it offers ./a desirable loca-
tion for a home. The climate is

There are a number of mercantile
and manufacturing establishments,
both wholesale Iand retail, represent-
ing most every business industry.
The churches are elegant in de
sign and finish, some being built of
stone and brick, others frame.

large and airy and constructed with
a view to health and comfort cf the
pupils. They are under the super-
vision of Principals Wigham, Tuck-

are and educators. Théy maintain a
high standard; .no better can be
found in the state. . The graduates
are sent forth fully equipped for any
calling.
Norwalk's industries are diversi-I
fied and extensive. Perhaps the
largest one line of manufactures is
of fur hats, in which there are seme
twelve to fifteen firms, whoemploy
about twelve hundred people. Next
is the cultivation of oysters, for
which Norwalk is notedthe world
over. Besides these industries there
are the following factories: 2 lock, 1
corset, 3 machine shops, 3 paper
boxes and packing cases, 1 steam IIen-
gines and air compressors,2 furnaces
and stoves, 2 straw hats, 3 casei-
meres, worsted and felts, 1 hatters’

some ten years in this business, and is the
largest establishment of its kind in the New

elegant presents with each pound Icau of
baking powder has become very popular
with every household. 1 Being unlike other
baking powder concerns who advertise .by
circularssud posters, have come in contact
with the housewife direct by giving them‘
an opportunity-to get useful household ar-
ticles which they could not afford to pur.
chase otherwise. To show the popularity
of their baking powder,it is almost impossi-

to notice some article which has been given

of baking powder. Lately they have ad-
ded a crockery department. Being able to
supply the demands of this community in
these goods at extremely low prices, as
they buy in car load lots, direct from the
western factories. Swhich enables them to
compete with all ”competitors. But their
special business is the manufacture of bak-
